The conference aims at providing the latest results in the field of design and architectures for signal and image processing, including development platforms, architectures, and technologies as well as smart sensing systems. In this year, DASIP featured special sessions with the purpose of introducing the DASIP community to relevant topics not covered by previous DASIP Conferences.
The inIT hosted the special session „Smart Signal and Image Processing Algorithms for Industrial Applications,” organised by Dr. Helene Dörksen and Prof. Dr. Volker Lohweg, director of the inIT, and chaired by Dr. Uwe Mönks, director of the coverno GmbH. The special session addressed aspects of signal and image processing for real-world applications under the constraints of robustness and stability.
Signal and image processing in industrial applications necessitates effective algorithms in terms of implementability and real-time processing. They are of great importance in medical applications, performance optimisation of manufacturing technologies, and automatised production systems. “A challenging task is to design and adapt signal and image processing algorithms which aim at supporting technical systems,” says Prof. Lohweg. “Complex technical systems create a large amount of data which cannot be analysed manually. Thus, information fusion mechanisms gain increasing importance.”
Dr. Uwe Mönks who received his doctorate degree in 2016 within the scope of a cooperative procedure of the inIT and the chair of Embedded Systems of Information Technology (ESIT) presented his dissertation on sensor data fusion. Together with Florian Kästner from ESIT, Martyna Bator held a speech about the infrastructure of Industry 4.0 production plants and hardware acceleration of sensor fusion in cyber-physical production systems. Anton Pfeifer offered an approach for a mobile walking assistance which should give impulses in the medical field for new services improving health and quality of life. Mark Funk presented an approach about statistical process quality control of printing machines basing on optical measurements.
The next DASIP Conference will be held in October 2018 in Porto, Portugal.
